Did you know that only 24% of senior executives find high potential leadership programs successful and that only 13% are confident in the future leaders completing the programs?

In fact, some high potential leadership programs have gained a negative reputation due to blind spots. Before the program even starts, biases can effect who is even considered a candidate to enter the program.

To deal with unforeseen bias, many companies are making a shift from the traditional high potential programs with selection-based criteria and towards a more open, democratized development structure that improves the diversity and inclusion of developing leaders and allows for a variety of personality and leadership styles that may not have met the criteria of a “High Potential Leader” in their previous selection-based programs.

• Why the manager-employee relationship is so important for productivity, engagement, and retention
• How to develop leaders in a more open, democratized program structure within your organization
